Are you ready to shape the future of CCIRA's conference on literacy? The CCIRA 2028 Conference Committee is excited to extend an invitation to the public to participate in an engaging contest to determine the theme for the upcoming 2028 CCIRA Conference on Literacy. The winner will not only have the honor of shaping the conference's direction but will also receive a complimentary registration to the 2028 CCIRA Conference on Literacy. That's a deal you won't want to miss!

The CCIRA Conference has always been a prestigious event that brings together educators, researchers, authors, and literacy enthusiasts from around the country. As we start planning for the 2028 conference, we believe it is essential to involve our diverse community in selecting a theme that resonates with their interests and passions in literacy.

The contest will run until September 30, 2026. We encourage everyone to participate, regardless of their background in literacy or education. Your unique perspective and creativity are what will make this event truly special.

To enter the contest, participants need to complete a Google Form. In the form, contestants can propose a conference theme and provide a brief explanation of why they believe it is a compelling and relevant choice for our 2025 conference.

Additionally, to further inspire participants, we have prepared a document that showcases the themes of all CCIRA Conferences from 1990 to 2026. We hope that this compilation will serve as a valuable resource and spark creative ideas for the 2028 conference theme.

We would love your assistance in spreading the word about this contest within your networks, social media platforms, and educational communities. The more participants we have, the more diverse and inspiring ideas we can gather.

If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to reach out to us at amy.ccira@gmail.com. We value your involvement and support in making the 2028 CCIRA Conference on Literacy an exceptional experience for all.

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to receiving numerous exciting theme proposals from the public.

Sincerely,

CCIRA's 2028 Conference Committee
